Lucy Meets George Burns! | The Lucy Show S5 E1 (1966)

Lucy teams up with a comedy legend in this classic episode of The Lucy Show featuring special guest star George Burns. Originally airing on September 12, 1966, this Season 5 premiere brings together two generations of comedy, as Lucille Ball shares the screen with one of Hollywood’s most iconic entertainers. Burns, already a vaudeville and radio veteran by this point, plays off Lucy’s signature physical comedy style—creating a perfect blend of old-school timing and mid-century sitcom energy. By the mid-1960s, The Lucy Show had transitioned into a more celebrity-driven format, featuring big-name guest appearances—and this episode is a standout example of that shift. Presented as part of WALT’s Main Street collection, this episode captures the charm, humor, and timeless appeal of classic American television. 📺 Watch more full episodes and classic TV: @WALTplusTV 🎞 Where Americana Lives Today #TheLucyShow #LucilleBall #GeorgeBurns #ClassicTV #VintageTV #OldSchoolComedy #1960sTV #RetroTV #Americana #WALTplusTV
